Main Street Looking Northeast

This is another of the Haywood collection of pictures recently donated to the Wellsville Historical Society. It's a picture looking up Main Street toward 5th.

The earlier photo shows a lot more activity with the store fronts on the western side of the street. Taken over 50 years ago it was at a time Routes 7 & 39 still went through the heart of town bringing a lot of traffic through that supported local businesses. At that time the building that has the now closed Twisted Stone restaurant & dog grooming business use to be the Post office & a drug store. Moon's restaurant is also shown here.

It was before my age of recollection. We don't remember a studio being next to Checklers Barber Shop. How about you...
